sarah palin and hillary UNITED

what a great video from saturday night live. oh, and one more thing: john mccain has been putting all sorts of incredibly dishonest advertisements on television and the internet, and both he and sarah palin lie a whole lot in their speeches. dishonesty is something that should bother people of all political views, whether liberal, conservative, moderate, or libertarian. there was an ad claiming barack obama supported teaching kindergarteners how to have sex. actually, he voted for a law that had them teach kindergarteners the warning signs that someone is a sexual predator. maybe barack obama could do a video in response, saying that john mccain wants to help sexual predators get away with raping kindergarteners. but he would never do something like that, because unlike john mccain, barack obama is running an honorable campaign and both barack obama and his entire campaign have been very honest. there is no bigger lie than john mccain being someone who gives “straight talk”, unless “straight” means “not gay”. sarah palin has repeatedly said, in many speeches since she was chosen as john mccain’s running mate, “i told congress thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere.” that is a complete and utter lie that has been thoroughly reviewed by many in the media and independent observers, and found to have no basis in truth whatsoever. she never told any such thing to congress. she was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. just ask the mayor of ketchikan, alaska. when she ran for governor, one of the things she campaigned on was her support for the bridge to nowhere, and now she has not only flip-flopped (which is o.k.) but completely lied about it (which is not o.k.). these are just 2 of the most glaring examples of dishonesty from the mccain-palin campaign, but there are many more. even karl rove has criticized the mccain-palin campaign for its completely dishonest campaign ads!!! appearing on “fox news sunday,” karl rove said john mccain had “gone one step too far, and sort of attributing to obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100 percent truth test.” karl rove, the former spin doctor for george w. bush, who was personally behind a great many dishonest attacks against democrats in past campaigns, now observed a campaign far more dishonest than any of george w. bush’s campaigns, and was actually so appalled by it that he felt he had to speak out against it. or perhaps he was not morally appalled, but just wanted to send a message to the mccain-palin campaign to quit being so dishonest because it was hurting their chances of being elected. i will leave you to be the judge of why karl rove would say such a thing. i would like to leave you with the thoughts of obama campaign spokesman bill burton, whom i wholeheartedly agree with:

“We will take no lectures from John McCain who is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern Presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
